Ghost Love Story's
CHAPTER 16 ~ Announcement ~

Axel wants to kiss Athena ? that's for sure, but did it happen ? I don't know. But for sure, Axel was smiling at the sight of Athena closing her eyes. The man quickly grabbed Athena into his arms, then kissed the top of the girl's hair very strongly.

The trembling Athena waiting for what was to happen finally opened her eyes. The girl had been in Axel's arms, smilingly staring at the man. Axel pinched the top of Athena's nose. Axel never kissed Athena, was anyone disappointed ?

There may be, but the person is silent, unwilling to confess.

"You can beat Luna, I'm sure of that" Axel said.

"Why so sure ?" ask Athena.

"Because you will definitely try to win the opportunity" said Axel slowly still hugging Athena.

Athena was stunned to play the buttons of Axel's shirt, for some reason the girl felt the tone of Axel's voice was different. Hesitating and not liking his own words.

Axel let go of his embrace, staring at the window. The night is coming soon and he will soon be a shadow. The man bowed, smiling bitterly. A speck of light fell from the corner of his eye. Soon Axel removed that clear point. Then turn around and smile.

"I will try to make you win as you wish. If necessary, it will help you try out. I will whisper the right answer when try out later" said Axel then smiled.

Like a forced smile, Athena approached, looking at the man more closely, Axel dodged.

"You don't have to do that, I'll try to do it on my own" Athena said.

"But what if you can't beat the other IPA kids, you miss the chance of being Evan's partner ?" axel asked slightly.

"It's okay, I can't be Evan's partner that way. I will be her partner if I deserve it" replied Athena.

Axel was stunned, not expecting Athena to say that. Athena wants to be Evan's partner in an honest way. I don't know why his feelings are getting so bad. Athena wants to honestly get Evan's love.

"I'm leaving" Axel said, sounding softly out.

"Where ? when ? what's ?" ask Athena for a long time.

"Later if you manage to get Evan's love" said Axel finally.

"Oh... So you desperately want to help me get Evan even by cheating so that you can get out of here immediately ?" ask Athena.

"Bu-not so" Axel said hesitantly.

"Then ? look Axel, I wouldn't have forced you to stay with me, if it wasn't on your own accord. It doesn't matter to me if you can't keep your promise. I don't want anyone to live with me. You can leave whenever you want" said Athena in an annoyed tone.

Axel grabbed the hand of Athena who wanted to get out of the room. Axel held her back, Athena wanted to shake Axel's hand, but the man held her firmly. Athena looked at Axel waiting for the reason the man was holding her back. But Axel never said anything, all he did was look at Athena.

What's on your mind ? why can't you reveal it ? why just shut up ? inner Athena

"I can't read people's minds, sorry.I can't read ghosts' thoughts if you don't talk I won't know your heart" said Athena loudly.

"I. I. I can't say" Axel said.

"Yes, if so" said Athena again wanted to leave.

"Don't go" Axel said.

"Why ?" ask Athena.

"It will be dark, as long as I can touch you, please don't leave this room" Axel said pleading.

Athena looked at the hand that Axel was still holding. To be honest he also thinks like that, somehow this little time always wants the maximum to be spent with Axel.

Because after Axel turned into a shadow, Athena always felt sorry for not doing something when the man appeared like a human.

Whether it's pinching him, strangling him, tickling him or stroking his hair, hugging him oh. if hugging is often, it's like Axel also wanted to hug Athena. Moreover well, aah ya kissed her cheeks, her forehead, her nose, her lips. But that's impossible, just a delusion.

Athena disengages from the room, Axel advises Athena to continue studying. Although Athena still felt lazy to start learning again but finally obeyed Axel's orders.

"Any yes, you are very excited about learning. Don't-don't while still alive you are nerds yes" said Athena Rada lazy learning.

Axel just smiled.

"Evan would like to present her partner in the farwell party if I could get a top rank, if you, what gift would you give me ?" ask Athena.

"What do you want ?" ask Axel.

Your heart, Athena's mind.

The girl was just a manyun, Axel was asked instead behind his nanya. He himself was confused as to what to ask the ghost. It's impossible to ask for flowers, chocolates, concert tickets or cinema tickets. Would you like some cherry ? science is disappearing ? or the science of pellets ?

Axel looked at Athena, as if waiting for the girl's answer.

"I want you to live" said Athena.

Axel bowed, beyond measure how much he wanted it. So many years do not regret anything that happened, just live his days at school as a ghost day by day. But since knowing Athena, her destiny as a ghost is the most regrettable thing.

The dreaded day finally came, the period of trying out the national exam was about to begin. Although deg-degan but Athena looks calm, she does not care about winning or losing, so Evan's companion or not.

What he thought instead was the fear of disappointing those who had supported him, especially Axel. Athena was afraid of disappointing the hard-earned ghost and was so patient in teaching her that.

"Hey IPS, it has been backwards now, so if you lose it is not shy" said Luna.

"Who lost ? lu ? why force people to retreat, afraid ?" answer Athena.

"Hee. don't because Evan gives a chance to be his partner in the farwell party so haalu first. Loe won't win either. Then Evan will not be able to escape from me" shouted Luna.

"It is an obsession of a former emang kayak that, hoping his ex can not move on. I broke it up, yes, just resigned" replied Athena.

Luna's expression changed, her face displaying an overwhelming annoyance. Luna doesn't like it the most when people make fun of her as Evan's ex.

"Hey, who's the former ? me and Evan it's just break know not loe" said Luna annoyed.

"The break up, yes it means ex" replied Athena the Goddess of War not to be defeated.

"No, the break was just a temporary break" said Luna increasingly upset.

"Yes, while longaaaaa very nyampe finished. Udalah males cave ladenin lu" said Athena digeloyor from that place.

Looked Luna who fanned his hot face.

Try out began, all busy, including Athena who was serious about doing the problems given. Axel looked at the girl anxiously. Strange, Axel felt a strange feeling.

Want the girl to win but don't want the girl to win, confused right ? All because of Evan's announcement that makes the highest ranking contestant become his partner.

Upset, the announcement made Axel upset, so sometimes expect Athena to lose. But no, it would make Athena sad, therefore Axel resigned. Although he did not like if Athena eventually became Evan's partner, Axel still hopes the girl can win.

Try out for a few days, during which the girls were busy figuring out who would win the ranking race. Of course Athens is supported by IPS majors and Luna is supported by IPA majors.

Teachers of the field of study even support the ranking. Athena Cengengesan got a hand-pick from her teachers. Though from the first teachers were most diligent in reprimanding Athena because often late to do the task or even like to give punishment for not doing the task at all.

"Where does the spirit of those teachers come to support you ? people used to be angry, you know now even support" asked Kimmy.

"You well just support the teachers, the important thing is there are candidates who challenge the IPA majors?" vivi.

Athena bowed lethargic, looking her own friends were less sure of her abilities. To assume that the teachers are wrong.

"How come you're lethargic very much ?" ask Kimmy.

"Two back away from being shy" said Athena.

"Lu don't pe de same result of your work ? how does it feel ? a lot of things really, what's wrong ?" ask Vivi.

"Lu don't know my nature, I'm selfish to always feel right, where do I want to know if the answer is wrong I think my answer is really, how ?" answer Athena.

Vivi patted the jidat.

"Feeling really alone is okay but if the answer about not caring about your opinion, if not right, yes wrong. Dizziness of the cave, see the announcement later" said Kimmy.

Right, everyone's not sure of Athena's ability. But even so they remained supportive, just like the teachers. Although not sure can win but still give support.

The ghostly man was also encouraging.

"Hey, how about if you peek at my answer, how wrong is how much, so you know what the value is ?" proposal Athena.

"If you know your worth, what do you do ?" ask Axel.

"Yes, if the value is good yes go forward, if the value is approximately bad, yes back away from now" said Athena hesitated.

"Isn't that cheating ? knowing the results before the time so that you can decide to come or not ?" ask Axel.

"Yes already if so go ahead, how the result is up" said Athena directly collapsed on her bed pretending to sleep.

Axel jumped into bed.

"Miscloud ?" ask Athena.

"You sleep too" he answered briefly.

"No way, girls and guys can't sleep in bed, go there" said Athena while pushing Axel

"At that time you were sleeping while hugging me" Axel said with a laugh.

"Haaa, napa was taken" said Athena directly hit the pillow towards the handsome ghost.

Axel held the pillow, Athena took the pillow off and took the other one. Hoarding Axel with as many pillows. Then sit on the pillow.

"You want another pillow haa..? I'm looking for it" said Athena.

"Udah is enough, ntar again also say" replied Axel.

Athena was stunned, as she disappeared she could not joke with Axel like that. Axel peeked out from behind the pillow, wondering why Athena was suddenly silent.

"You don't get discouraged, I always support you no matter the outcome, Ok" Axel said.

"Aren't you disappointed that I lost ?" ask Athena.

No, because you are not the same partner Evan, inner Axel.

"Because you've been trying, why should you be disappointed ?" axel.

Athena threw aside all the pillows that covered Axel's body, the man immediately sat in front of Athena. Athena hugged Axel.

"Thank you for always helping me, always supporting me" said Athena.

Axel was silent, but wrapped his hand around Athena's body. The man hugged Athena. The girl retreated, stretched her body, peeked at Axel and smiled. The man looked at Athena in wonder.

She thanked me for helping her approach Evan, inner Axel.

"So quiet, say something like that" said Athena.

I love you, Axel said in his heart.

Then Axel smiled, slowly looming over, Athena let go of his embrace. The girl went down to dinner with her mom and dad. Athena looked lethargic, making both her parents wonder.

"Athena why, baby ? how lethargic ?" ask mama Athena.

"Tomorrow the announcement of the results of try out ma" said Athena.

"Trus is lethargic ? it should be the spirit of dong, can see the results of your hard work so far" said mama Athena again.

"Don't think about the result, we saw you trying, it was enough to make us happy" said papa Athena.

"Thank you, ma" said Athena grateful for the understanding of papa and her mother.

"Hopefully you can win against the IPA boy" said mama Athena.

"How do you know Athena nantangin IPA son ?" ask Athena.

"Yes know dong, Kimmy the story, the boy asked do'a from mama and papa. He said do'a the old man is effective so he told me, let mama come do'ain. Kimmy sure you didn't tell me about the challenge" explained mama Athena at length.

Uhh. The boy's bottom, lebos really that mouth, Athena's mind is upset.

Mama so hope it will be, uuh, Kimmyyyy, watch out for you, if not win you who obviouslyin to mak mak mak mak mak mak guaaa, inner Athena more upset.

Athena let out a long breath, papa Athena laughed at the expression of her son.

"Udah do not think too much, losing won does not matter, most of the pocket money is cut" said papa Athena.

"Haaaaa.." cried Athena.

Papa and mama Athena laughed, so happy to tease their daughter.

The next morning, the ups, Athena was already shocked by Axel who had been sitting facing her.

"Sleepers should not be watched anyway, embarrassed to know" said Athena while covering her face with a pillow.

"You're beautiful when you sleep" Axel said.

"Emang can not maintain privacy if you are the same" said Athena.

Fortunately just now do not come to the bathroom, iihh. if you like to see ghosts like to see people shower iiih, sebel, be careful if you try it so, the cave also break up loe, hihihi... when is it ? inner Athena.

That morning Athena was attacked by Kimmy and Vivi.

"Ntar again the announcement, how do you feel, feel win or lose ?" ask Kimmy.

"I don't know, my mother could know future events" said Athena Cuek.

"Liat tuh, there's been a stick of paper on the notice board, let's see there" Vivi invited.

"You see, I don't" said Athena directly sitting on the bench in class.

"Yes, we went there" said Vivi.

Athena peeked through the classroom window, Axel also peeked.

"Why follow me ?" athena said to Axel.

Axel just smiled, seeing that Athena was really tense. Until do not want to be invited to see the results of the try out ranking announcement.

Vivi and Kimmy came in with their faces down, Athena directly slumped her head.

"HAPPY ATHENA YOU RANKED TEN" shouted Vivi and Kimmy.

Athena woke up looking directly at the two friends. They look their happy faces.

"What grade is ?" ask Athena.

"Lu didn't hear our screams that loud ?" ask Vivi.

"Seriously, what rank am I ?" asked Athena with a serious mimic.

"Of the nine hundred and ninety-six students of class XII, Athena occupies the tenth position" Kimmy said.

"Kim, which is serious anyway" said Athena almost crying unable to hold the load any longer.

"Seriously, only three IPS children reached the top ten. Rank four, seven and ten. And the tenth is Athena" cried Kimmy.

"Seriously Vi ?" athena asked Vivi who was replied with a nod by her friend.

Athena turned to Axel, and the man nodded. Athena immediately stood hugging her two friends, the three of them hugged. Tears fell on the corner of their eyes.
